The earliest editions of the newspaper read: "First it was the cricket (4-1),
then the Davis Cup tennis (4-1) and now Australia has stunned England in one of
the biggest upsets in soccer history, thumping David Beckham's star-spangled
team 3-1."

The Fox Sports website ran the headline: "Roos Rule Britannia", while The West Australian newspaper delighted in: "Kewell on fire as
England in ashes".

The paper said the victory proved the World Cup qualifying tournament's Oceania group - which Australia are favourites to win - deserved its new automatic place in the finals.

It continued: "Sparked by a sick but dazzling Harry Kewell, Australia proved
it deserved a place at the World Cup with an historic 3-1 win over England this
morning."
